Oh geez, draw a picture!

Once upon a time there was a girl who loved retail, france, mojito martinis, tights, and the idea that everything will be OK.
She planned parties and then raged them.
...and this is what she had to say.

Bob Dylan - Don’t Think Twice, It’s All Right

This song makes my heart sigh, turn over, and wince a little as it settles back down (a good thing). That line? “Goodbye is too good a word.” Oh man.

But I can’t pretend it’s just the bittersweet lyrics; the boy I lost my virginity to did a frankly terrific hard-blues cover of it at a school concert weeks after he dumped me. The heart-break was so consuming that the lashes of one eye fell out. He burned the melody into my memory.

I just don’t have the energy (or time) for that kind of melodrama anymore, though my heart is still a tender muscle, malleable, and ever close to the skin (if not worn on my sleeve).

And here I was thinking I was the only one who had such painful memories from a song that I once used to love. My ex boyfriend, a person who turned me onto Dylan and the art of ‘good music’ broke up with me, wrote out the lyrics and stuck them in my mailbox on campus.

Awful. I can’t even listen to the song without getting teary eyed.
